On their faith segment today, I just watched CNN talk to Jim Wallis, president\u00a0of Sojourners<\/a>, a\u00a0liberal religious organization committed to promoting their progressive version of religious faith and dogma.\u00a0 Not surprisingly, they lay all blame, immorality, and sin regarding our current financial and debt crisis at the feet of the Republican party. Natch.\u00a0 Fine.\u00a0 There\u2019s a Christian Right, and despite media narratives to the contrary, a Christian Left.\u00a0 But at least if you\u2019re CNN, try to acknowledge the fact that this is a liberal group.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe \u2013 and here\u2019s a radical thought, but I\u2019ve seen it put to good use against Christians on the Right \u2013 ask the fellow if he thinks there could be some fault at the feet of, oh I don\u2019t know, the Democrats.\u00a0 Dare I say, even President Obama?\u00a0
Expecting our media to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is seeming more pie in the sky with each passing day. <\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>\u00a0 CNN had to break into the interview, but there was much gushing with love and adoration toward Sojourners, and it looks like they will enthusiastically be invited back!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
